The path to enlightenment leads first to the self. The first steps lead inward. The next steps go deeper inward. Beyond that lies the unknown self, the lost self, the forgotten self. This is the self you seek. This is where your spirit lies waiting.

Don’t stop now. To find this self is the most noble and fulfilling of all journeys for it will lead you to greater understanding of all that is; your place in the world will be made clearly available and your spirit will truly live as one with you for the rest of your days.

To live in constant companionship with this spirit self all the time is what you seek. The journey may seem difficult now, but soon light will come. Keep going.

The River of Life flows beside us all, full of energy and promise. Sometimes all you need is a slight shift to come into alignment with it; sometimes great work must be done to instigate a shift. Either way, it is time to be reminded of the existence of this great River of Life and know that you can access it quite easily with your intent.

Shift away from the usual self-cruelty today and access the magic of life and Self. Ask your spirit to lead you to the River of Life and teach you upon its energizing waters. You will only learn by doing.

Step into the flowing River of Life today. It will receive you with care and compassion and take you on a ride of infinite possibility.

Look all around you; change is constant. The seasons change with intent set long ago, no need to use any thought or consciousness—it happens. Human beings, on the other hand, far from true connection to nature as catalyst, must make concerted effort to change. Human change must ultimately be conscious, intent fixed and adhered to.

Return to the true nature of self now as you gather all of who you are and take it on your continuing journey forward. Connect, one step at a time, with your nature, your path of heart, your creative self and evolve on the wheel of change that is as natural to you as it is to the natural world.

Why do we do the things we do? Are we weak in body and spirit? Are we so captivated by our entrenched habits and thoughts that we cannot see true reality?

Day to day we seek balance and yet we must face what takes us off balance. Only in abrupt shift will real change occur.

Turn in a new direction now. Walk firmly and with conviction on your path of heart. You are fully human, acknowledge that, but you are also fully spirit. Time to acknowledge that too and proceed with commitment and heart on the path your spirit long ago selected.

This is the time of immediate and resourceful change. Time to be honest and face the truth and walk in a new direction, for your spirit’s sake.

In the remembering of past events and how you have handled them you know that you have all you need to continue on your journey despite worries and thoughts of defeat.

Do not allow a few obstacles to mar your shining warrior face. Let your inner glow shine ever brighter as you face a new moment in your life. Take up your warrior sword and charge onward with compassion and kindness for self and other. No obstacle is too large or difficult to overcome. Cut right through it and keep going.
